Ava (Graham) Inman

DEATH ’S HARVEST
INMAN
Ava GRAHAM INMAN was born in Daviess County, Ind., August 25, 1841, and departed this life January 21, 1913, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Will A. BUTLER, in Linton, aged seventy-one years, four months and twenty-one days.

She was the daughter of Samuel and Mary GRAHAM and was one of a family of twelve children, all of whom have preceded her to the world beyond except Bazil GRAHAM and Mrs. Minerva MILLER of Bedford.

The deceased was married to Jackson INMAN, March 10, 1872. To them were born seven children, all of whom are living except one that died in infancy. The husband and father died September 9, 1884. The surviving children are Charles, Samuel, and Mrs. Will A. BUTLER and Mrs. John H. SHAFFER, of Linton; Mrs. Charles W. FAUCETT, of Bloomfield, and Frank, of Woodward, Oklahoma, and all were present at the deathbed except Frank. There are five stepchildren and a host of relatives and friends who mourn their loss.

She became a member of the Church of Christ at Owensburg when she was quite young, and had lived a devoted Christian. She had been in ill health for about four years, and within the last year, had been almost helpless. She bore her suffering very patiently and had often expressed a desire to go back to Owensburg, her old home, and had especially requested to be laid to rest there.

The funeral services were held from the Church of Christ at Owensburg, conducted by the pastor, Rev. Shannon BAKER, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Owensburg cemetery.
